Ben Affleck is applauded for 'really sweet' tribute to ex-wife Jennifer Garner

Ben Affleck was praised by fans for his sweet tribute to his ex-wife Jennifer Garner.

To mark Mother's Day in the US, the Hollywood actor shared a wheel of treasured family photographs on his Instagram over the weekend.

His loving words moved his fans who celebrated the pair for showing "co-parenting at its best".

Jennifer and Ben have been co-parenting their kids Violet, Serafina and Samuel since their split.

Genuine and caring, Ben described the exes as the "luckiest parents in the world" in a gushing message which melted the hearts of his fans.

He wrote: "So happy to share these kids with you. Luckiest parents in the world. Thanks for all the good you do. Happy Mother's Day. Love, their Dad."

Among the sea of commenters, one wrote: "How lovely - co parenting at its best."

"Ben, you have my respect, very nice post."

"This is really sweet and a great example of coparenting. Good for you both!"

"Oh man, beautiful."

Sparks flew when they fell in love in 2004, having built their relationship on the foundation of their friendship.

They were married in 2005 but the couple announced they were going their separate ways for good in 2015, one decade later.

Their sweet co-parenting relationship was revealed after Jennifer has reportedly rekindled the flames of love with her CEO ex John Miller.

It's been less than a year since they parted ways but it's been reported love has brought them back together again.

Previously, they dated each other for two years before calling it quits on their time as a couple.

They have apparently been romancing again for weeks now.

“Jen and John are back on,” a source told US Weekly. “It started up a few weeks ago.”

The Mirror has approached Jennifer Garner's representatives for further comment.

It was believed the couple split up because John had wanted to take their romance to the next stage with marriage.

They first went public with their romance in October 2018.

Jen's love life update comes amid rumours flying about the romantic interests of Jennifer's ex Ben in recent weeks.

In a storm of headlines, Ben has been hanging out with another famous ex of his Jennifer Lopez.

She's newly single, having called off her engagement to A-Rod.

But it's believed J-Lo and Ben have stayed friends and there's nothing romantic in their reunion.

They split 17 years ago but the actor was recently gushing over her in an interview.

Only recently, the Gone Girl star said his ex was the "fountain of youth" and had a glowing visage in a magazine interview.
